On the Go mother of three, I really want to cook more often but don't have any really good recipes that don't take 4 hours ! Any quick easy meal ideas? We like chicken a lot, but really want to ideas too!

Answer 1

Grilled chicken breast, baked potato and salad. Pour only soy sauce(no salt)) over each chicken breast, let sit 5 min. Put potatoes in microwave to bake, now heat a skillet or griddle to high, drop a spoon of margarine on the skillet, now lay the brease in the butter. Cook 1 min, reduce heat to med low and turn over. Let cook 7 min or till done. Meanwhile chop the lettuce, tom, cucumber, onion etc and toss in a bowl. Now taters are done, chicken will be just a minutes and whaalaaa meal in minutes and so good! Do this with pork chops, catfish too. It don't take long to cook cause they are not thick!  Use some Worcestershire's steak sauce on the meat! Restaurant quality at your talbe!

Heck tacos, spanish rice, refried beans and cheese dip don't take 30 minutes! The rice would take the longest, Brown 2 obs of meat drain add taco bell brand taco seasoning n water, simmer few min. Place taco shells upright in cake pan,  grate some cheese. Now put meat n cheese in each shell. Bake them 300 for 7 minutes but wait till your ready to eat. Put 1lb Velveeta chinked up in bowl, put in microwave on defrost, it will melt it but not burn it! Stir every few minutes, add rotel and some of the taco meat. Add milk if its to thick. Refried bean are in a can just heat em. Some Mexican corn warmed up would go well too. That meal takes about 30 min.;

Spaghetti, French garlic bread, green beans dont take 30 min.

1 Jar of Prego meat flavored, plus 1 Jar of Ragu roasted garlic & mushroom mixed and heated. Over cooked spaghetti or any shaped pasta, with loaf of baked bread with garlic butter poured in the middle bake 20 min. Tha is less than 30 min meal!

Some frozen burritos, thawed and fry on buttered grill to heat through. Place in pan, pour can of good brand chili over them, bake 20 min. top iwth shredded cheese YuUMMM,  serve with brown beans,  spanish rice.. Awesome!

Answer 3

If you have a chunk of weekend time I like to cook stuff in big batches, then use it for different meals all week. A whole chicken, a pot or pork roast already cooked really saves time. Then I always have some canned goods and cut up fruit and veggies in the fridge. When I get home it's as easy as a steamed veggie, a quick stir fry, or salad and dinner's done in 10-20 minutes.

Try 30 minute meals on the Food Network as well as almost home-made. Same site. They give out recipes for ones to use.

Answer 5

do you like / eat rice?

my favorite is catfish cooked in 2/3 mild salsa  and 1/3 lime juice.

takes about 10 minutes or less on the stove.

i've a rice cooker, and i pour the salsa and lime juice over the rice.

and, of course, mixed frozen vegetables.

i cook chicken the same way.
